determine the quadratic equations whose graph is given the vertex is (1,1) and the y intercept is (0,-7).
1 answer:
The vertex form of a quadratic equation is
... y = a(x -h)² + k . . . . . . where the vertex is (h, k) and "a" is some multiplier
Then using the given information, we can find "a".
... -7 = a(0 -1)² +1 = a+1
... -8 = a
The quadratic equation is
... y = -8(x -1)² +1 . . . . vertex form
or
... y = -8x² +16x -7 . . . . standard form

Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in . This will become
, and
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read: because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:
The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:
Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:
Hope this makes sense!!
